Dimension of C-Jacks For Lippert Electric Ground Control TT

Updated 12/18/2020 | Published 12/16/2020

Question:

I am considering putting the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System - 10,000 lbs Item # LC672136 on my Winnebago Minnie 170K Travel Trailer. I know the trailer is small, but I am old and lazy and your website indicates the system will fit on the 170K. I am cautious however, because of the limited width and length of the trailer. Is possible to find the dimensions of the brackets that attach to the frame so I can be sure there will be adequate room to install the levelers?

I reached out to Lippert and the four C-jacks included with the Lippert Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136 measure 38.32" long x 20.62" wide. The C-jacks also have a retracted height of 6.84" and full extend to 26".

The key thing to keep in mind when installing the Lippert # LC672136 on your 2019 Winnebago Minne 170K Travel Trailer is that the the jacks will stick down nearly 7" which could effect the approach and departure angles. You will want to run a string from the bottom of the tires to the lowest part on the front and rear of the trailer, and make sure the jacks are not sticking down below the string. If they are mounted in a location where they hang below the string you will want to move them or they will contact the ground when going up or down steep inclines.

I included a cut out from the instruction manual showing how to measure the approach and departure angles, and a video of the Lippert # LC672136 for you to take a look at.
